Judge Robert King Robinson

The death of Judge Robert King Robinson, at St. Anthony's hospital, 
Oklahoma City, Wednesday evening, removes another of the Anadarko 
pioneers who have left indelibly their stamp in the development and 
progress of this community. Mr. Robinson had been in poor health for 
some time.The immediate cause of his death was penumonia. He was 
born in Loudon county, Tennessee, October 15, 1849. He was 78 years 
and 5 months old. Funeral services will be held at the Methodist 
church Friday afternoon at 2 p.m. He will be laid to rest in the 
Anadarko Cemetery.

Judge Robinson was born just before the war of the states. His 
people were strong Union sympathizers and while too young to have 
entered the army, all through is life he has devoted much of his 
time in the interests of Union soldiers. He was the best posted man 
in this section on pension laws and rendered much service to the 
soldiers of later wars in friendly and legal advice. He was one of 
the oldest and most honored members of the Caddo county bar 
association. For many years he had been a justice of the peace for 
Anadarko. He had a sense of humor that was always pleasing. The 
kindly interest he took in those with whom he associated and welcome 
he extended to those who called at his office ade for him a host of 
friends who grieve over his departure. Mr. Robinson was a member of 
the Methodist Church. In addition to the generous contributions he 
made for the support of the church he had for years made it a 
practice to buy a suit of clothes for the pastor of the church each 
year. Mr. Robinson is survived by his wife, two daughters, Mrs. 
George L. Ray of Anadarko and Mrs. John Munders of Wichita Falls 
(Texas), and one son, R.A. Robinson
